Fidget spinners were the hottest new craze at one point, but their 15 minutes of fame has well and truly passed. They’re great for fidgeting, and not a whole lot else. One of the main objectives around their use is to spin them as quickly as possible. After [Sushi Ramen] hurt himself after spinning one up with compressed air, however – a new and dangerous idea came to mind.
What you’re looking at is a fidget spinner sword, powered by compressed air. That alone is somewhat of a blessing, as it prevents this horrifying device from being easily man-portable. Through a breakneck build montage, we see almost fifty fidget spinners (in hyperchrome, no less) mounted to a shaft. The shaft is then attached to a hilt and a plastic line is artfully bent up to deliver compressed air at the pull of a trigger, causing the fidget spinners to rotate at moderate speed.
It’s true that the fidget spinners don’t receive a whole lot of torque from the compressed air and thus most of the damage is done purely by swinging the presumably quite heavy device at fragile glass objects. That said, with nothing ventured, nothing is gained, and we’re always glad to see research and development continuing in the fidget spinner space.
Looking for more effective ways to spin, and spin quickly? Check out this brushless motor setup. Video after the break.
Anyone else thinking ‘japanese Colin furze’?
Just what the world needs; a weaponized toy!
Well that was a laugh and a half, nice build vid.
The konyaku certainly seems to suggest no effective against flesh. A good back rub?
increase turning force fourfold!!!!
Give him some brain, totally stupid idea ???
This will be a weapons mod in the upcoming “Fallout 76”.
If you look carefully the metal ends appear to touch the bottles and glasses first.
No where near enough Neopixels on this setup.
Well that was a waste of time.
Sort of resembles the riot baton from the last two Star Wars movies.
I just wasted 3 minutes of my life.
no blades? the youtube Slingshot Channel has put edges on them, spun them up and fired them from handheld catapults, making them truly dangerous to the person using them :)
